THE TOBACCO BARN MANTEL

At one time, Kentucky was the largest producer of burley tobacco in the country.  Today, many of the tobacco barns have been repurposed for other crops or torn down.  Our Tobacco Barn mantel is fashioned from timbers that could have been recovered from an old Kentucky barn. The Tobacco Barn mantel is molded directly from an 8” x 8” barn timber to authentically reproduce the beautiful seasoning imparted to the wood over time.  Features include hand-hewn tool marks, deep checking, knots, insect damage, and growth rings visible on the ends. Tobacco was “King” in Kentucky and many small farmers grew it to pay for Christmas gifts, school tuition, and other “extras” for the family.  An acre of tobacco could generate $4,000, but it required a lot of manual labor to grow, cut, and hang in the barns to dry.  Small farmers enlisted the help of their children, extended family, and friends to bring in the harvest during the hottest months of the year.  It was a miserably hot, dirty, and sometimes dangerous chore, but it only had to be done once a year.

Today, the small family tobacco farmer is almost extinct.  Large factory farms, and contract growers, have largely taken over what remains of the business.  Our Tobacco Barn mantel personifies the strength and perseverance of the family tobacco farmer.  Hand-hewn and sturdy.

THE TIMELESS BEAUTY OF BARN TIMBER 

The Tobacco Barn mantel is molded directly from a 7.5” x 7.5” barn timber to authentically reproduce the beautiful seasoning imparted to the wood over time. Features include hand-hewn tool marks, deep checking, knots, and growth rings visible on the ends.
